My kids like it in with a berry or fruity tea (1 tsp dried thyme wrapped in coffee filter and placed in a tea ball with one raspberry zinger tea bag will take care of 2 kiddos). <br /><br />Love the scarf! :)Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10885809476824129833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332471591254149295.post-57084247093529608092014-11-01T15:26:09.698-04:002014-11-01T15:26:09.698-04:00I really enjoyed your post-especially about mullei...I really enjoyed your post-especially about mullein-do you dry the leaves for the tea or the roots? thanks-love your fox-kathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332471591254149295.post-81121183912864142282014-11-01T14:46:35.399-04:002014-11-01T14:46:35.399-04:00I had a huge garden this summer of bee balm.

I'm blessed to not have had any kind of respiratory illnesses since childhood so I'm not in need of it.<br /><br />It's predicted to snow here in southwest West Virginia today. It's cold enough to but I haven't seen any flurries yet. The wind is blowing and it's too cold for me already. The weather predictors are predicting another snowy, cold, wet winter. Not what I was hoping for.<br /><br />I love the fox scarf! I might have to make one for my little cousin.

It was hard for me to leave the SE when that's the area I was studying, plus, well, it's been the home of my heart for a long time. :-) But, I adore monarda and also mullein. Have used monarda leaves for a homemade Earl Grey by blending half & half with black tea. Loved learning about your success with mullein leaves. It isn't a native plant species so I was a little surprised. Incidentally, I am now studying desert edible plants (gotta grow where you're planted! :-) ) Cute fox! :-) I'm a crocheter, and embroiderer as well as quilter. I never got into knitting, but I can appreciate the skill!A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332471591254149295.post-44040840276423060552014-10-28T10:38:39.227-04:002014-10-28T10:38:39.227-04:00Hi Deb!
